Unsolved Crimes and Missing Persons

The MPD often relies on information and tips from the public when trying to solve crimes or locate missing persons. Individuals who provide information that helps the MPD solve crimes and capture DC's Most Wanted are eligible for various rewards. For people who wish to remain anonymous while providing tips, the MPD has created an anonymous telephone tip line (202 727-9099) and an anonymous text number (50411). Submit your information to these numbers to help us solve crime.

To see the currently open cases, see the Major Case/Unsolved Homicides page and be sure to visit our YouTube channel to see videos of individuals we need your help in identifying. Learn about the MPDC Rewards program to see which cases may be eligible for a reward.
